This video, via synthesist Sally Sparks, documents her custom patches for the new Korg Minilogue analog synthesizer.
Sparks’ video highlights the range of the Minilogue’s synthesis architecture, along with some of the synth’s limitations.
For more info on the new synth, see our Korg Minilogue review, our article about the Korg Minilogue synthesis architecture & the Korg site.

Instant hard-on when I saw the oscilloscope.
If I wasn’t saving up for a Sub 37, I would get one of these! Sounds very nice.
Now I’m sure I’ll keep my Mopho X4 !
Were….were you thinking of getting rid of it?
Mopho X4 is warmer than the Minilogue, but the Mopho’s static DCOs sure sound stiff compared to the MInilogue’s slightly drifty VCOS….although the Mopho X4 is warmer sounding, the Minilogue is grittier and capable of a much more authentic “vintage” sound. Both are great, but if you want VCO analog subtle magic, the Minilogue delivers it better. Not to mention that you have to menu-dive a lot on the Mopho, while the Minilogue offers one knob for almost all functions. At about half the price.
I disagree, the mopho has a lot more grit than the minilogue. If you want drift just add some slop. I don’t see how the minilogue is better in any way other than the oscilloscope. The minilogue is great for the price, but doesn’t compete with more expensive synths with similar features. It beats the timbre wolf, but thats about it.
It’s not a matter of better or worse, the Mopho and the Minilogue simply sound very different!
Very nice, Sally! Most interesting sounds I’ve heard from the Minilogue so far. Great use of the envelopes and ring mod.
Look how small that thing is?
Nice to hear some pads on the Minilogue. I particularly liked the bell type patch starting at 4:54.
I know polyphony is the point here, but I want to hear some demos of the 2 sub-osc mono mode. Let’s hear what this thing has in its nether regions 🙂
Boring…yes it still sounds like a toy,
micro machines are toys and they’re awesome.
Which toy does it sound like?
LOL – all synths are toys, duh!
its a great synth , simple , polyhonic, analog , warm and versatile , so many blame the synth for their lack of talent , john lennon composed a lot of hes most interesting songs on a ukulele lol …
its not what but how you use it and if you suck at making music then the synth will suck cause the player makes it sound like crap lol .
